Esta trilogía ofrece un viaje íntimo y poético a través de la infancia y la adolescencia en el pintoresco campo inglés. Captura las alegrías desenfrenadas de la naturaleza, las experiencias conmovedoras de crecer y las complejas dinámicas familiares a través de los ojos de un niño. La narrativa es rica en detalles sensoriales, nostalgia y la belleza atemporal de la vida cotidiana. Es una evocadora celebración de la memoria y la resiliencia que resuena profundamente en los lectores.
'I remember, too, the light on the slopes, long shadows in tufts and hollows, with cattle, brilliant as painted china, treading their echoing shapes' Cider With Rosie is a wonderfully vivid memoir of Laurie Lee's childhood and youth in a remote Cotswold village. From the moment he is set down in the long grass, 'thick as a forest and alive with grasshoppers', he depicts a word that is both tangibly real yet belonging to a now distant past.
This autobiographical volume describes the author's departure from Stroud, his walk to London, and his months in Spain on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. His other works include A Moment of War and Cider With Rosie .
